NBA West: New Orleans

The New Orleans Hornets are a wonderful story in the NBA. This is a team that has been criticized for not bringing more fans into the stadium for home games, but yet climbed to the top of the western conference. The problem is that after the all star weekend, their play has gone down. Chris Paul is no longer playing like the MVP of the league and these guys aren’t winning the important games. The New Orleans Hornets are the new number five seed, being passed up  by the Jazz and the Rockets. The Hornets aren’t consistently great, but they are consistently good. Good enough to be in the playoffs this year, and good enough to put up a big fight with whoever they will play in the first round, but not good enough to beat their first round opponent. New Orleans will be the third seed in the west when all is said and done.

    Chris Paul is no longer playing like an MVP? What are you basing that on? He has been carrying the Hornets. Lately they have lost some games to some very good time like the Spurs and Rockets, but that has nothing to do with his play. In his last seven games Paul is averaging 25.3 points, 13.1 assists, 3 steals, while shooting 53%. I’d say that is pretty damn good. Without him the Hornets would be lost.

    I thank you for your comment, thats why this is here. I tottaly agree with what you said, but that was not what I said. I said that Chris Paul is no longer playing like the MVP of the league. I agree that he is playing like a MVP, but can you honestly say that he is taking his team farther than Gasol, or T-Mac? Thats what i’m saying.
